Looks like Pete is getting replaced with a former MTV Real World personality/Fox Businesses co-host, but at least he has some experience in politics (US House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019). It wouldn't surprise me if Trump saw that Sean's Real World/Fox News alumni wife was badly injured in a car accident and thought that made him qualified to be Transportation Secretary.

Trump picks former congressman and Fox Business host Sean Duffy as next Transportation secretary​


https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/18/politics/sean-duffy-transportation-secretary/index.html

President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday he has selected former congressman and recent Fox Business co-host Sean Duffy to serve as the next secretary of the Department of Transportation.

Duffy served in the US House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019, representing Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District. He most recently was co-host of Fox Business’ “The Bottom Line,” after first joining Fox News as a contributor in 2020.

Duffy’s last day as a Fox News employee was Monday, a network spokesperson confirmed to CNN. Wednesday marked his last day appearing on Fox Business, and he interviewed for the role of transportation secretary later in the week, according to a source.

Trump in a statement praised Duffy as a “tremendous and well-liked public servant” and said he was “a respected voice and communicator in the Republican Conference” during his time in Congress.

“He will prioritize Excellence, Competence, Competitiveness and Beauty when rebuilding America’s highways, tunnels, bridges and airports. He will ensure our ports and dams serve our Economy without compromising our National Security, and he will make our skies safe again by eliminating DEI for pilots and air traffic controllers,” Trump said.

Duffy, who served as chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and on the House Committee on Financial Services during his time in Congress, has little to no experience in the transportation field.

If confirmed by the Senate, he would oversee projects that involve companies run by Elon Musk, a close Trump ally who has been tapped by the president-elect to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency. Musk’s companies have billions of dollars in contracts with the federal government across a number of agencies, including the Department of Transportation.

I guess that is the best MTV Cabinet member we could hope for. He could have picked the Fox news Real World cast member who slept with Puck instead....

I have purposely ignored the politics threads after the election, but I can't take this crap anymore. Trump is a joke. His first term was a joke and his second one is going to be even worse. I can't believe the majority of people in this country are dumb enough, racist enough, bigoted enough, sexist enough, and greedy enough to vote for this moron. Not only is he a moron, he is a horrible person who only cares about himself. Anyone who voted for him is truly some combo of selfish, stupid, racist, sexist and bigoted in their heart. Even people I considered friends and in my own family. They might act like a nice person, but voting for Trump.shows your true colors and what your soul is really made of. It is sad and sickening. It doesn't even come down to policies, even though his policies won't help the majority of Americans more than Kamala’s would have. A convicted felon, a cheat, a fraud, a grifter, someone who bragged about sexually assaulting women, and a narcissistic sociopath shouldn't even be considered for President, no matter what his policies are.

The 25th??? The fucking Justice Department couldn't get this guy. The most powerful DA in the country got him, but they can't keep him. The people serving under the first article of our constitution have barely been able to touch him. I think Trump is in the running for the Worst American in History, but the 25th Amendment has a less than zero chance of doing anything about it. Teflon Don doesn't just happen. It happens because 49.9% of the country wants it to happen.

The one thing I’ve seen Kennedy propose that I would be all for is ending pharmaceutical ads on tv and radio. It is probably too late since so many people get their news and infotainment online anyway, but I always thought it was a mistake when the Clinton Administration permitted pharma ads back in the 1990s.

OTOH, that would almost immediately starve cable tv of a key source of ad revenue.

But that is not at all worth having Kennedy having any say over US health policy.

This SCOTUS would probably overturn those laws with some expansion of commercial speech.

I know very little about Duffy, but MAGA is swooning …

I thought there was already a case about pharma ads. But whether or not it's already the law, it will be. The idiots have committed themselves to a ridiculous First Amendment doctrine of "content-neutrality" which doesn't make sense and has never been the law, but whatever.

I hear you. And I wasn't criticizing your comment. I just think we're now in a world where the 25th is among the least of Trump's concerns. There's little that can stop him now other than the inevitable -- and agonizingly painful -- repercussions of what he's certain to do over the next few years.

Which is 100% on you, Pubs! You own EVERYTHING going forward. We'd better see one hell of next few years.
 
I do think it is absolutely mesmerizing that the same exact people that that have been screaming about groomers and pedophiles and child sex traffickers over the last several years, are conspicuously silent when we have an actual groomer, pedophile, child sex trafficker likely to become the Attorney General the United States.

It’s almost…..wait, nah, it couldn’t be, could it? It’s almost like…. and stay with me here… it’s almost like it was never about “saving the children”!!!!
